Direct from Austin Meyer - X-plane 10 just got better.http://www.x-plane.com/2012/04/press-release-the-bright-shiny-future-of-x-plane/

I just can't wait to hear the sound when I'll hit the jewels in the sky. :(

Great, another game :(

Hilarious ... thanks Austin, you made my day :(

Thanks Austin- You almost got me going there!!Martin madden

I wonder how long it takes this time until the thread gets deleted :(

Sigh ..........i've seen better 1 april jokes.XP8 had 'great potential' .....XP9 had 'great potential' .....XP10 still has 'great potential' .....maybe XP11 .............. ???After testing every new XPX demo version i am still disappointed.X-Plane always created the hype of being the better or 'only real' flight simulator and still can't live up to it.Let me guess: Perhaps the Blade Element Theory still calculates only the aerodynamics and not mass and inertia?I am glad FSX still has many years to go with current hardware and dozens of high quality addons still released.Now even Prepar3D is available for 50$ and it's constantly developing, i think it has also 'great potential' Perhaps Laminar Reasearch should hire the ACES team that was working on FS11 ?Not to put their efforts to fly XPX on a telephone, just on the basics of flight simulation.Maybe they can start with developing more realistic flight dynamics for the default XPX aircraft? :( :( :(

If I recall, it was about two-days for the last one.

X-Plane does have great potential. It could never really unfold in the past for various reasons.

This topic was already discussed here.

I am glad FSX still has many years to go with current hardware and dozens of high quality addons still released.

That depends on your interpretation of the word 'many'.

Now even Prepar3D is available for 50$ and it's constantly developing, i think it has also 'great potential'

Some people are uneasy with the idea of hiring a lawyer to explain to them which license is appropriate, if any.

I do not think that the flight dynamics engine in FSX is superior to that in X-Plane. ACES did some things better than Austin but who's had the last laugh?

Long live Oceania!

"........I am glad FSX still has many years to go with current hardware and dozens of high quality addons still released..."

Lets hope it doesnt . FSX is already six years old. Bet most aren't hoping for a 10yr old piece of software to be their best flight sim option.

Two days last time, are you sure? Anyway less than 7 hours this time.

Not this again...It's like Boeing decided to start making light-sport airplanes exclusively, and the CEO of Airbus felt it necessary to mock the decision by sarcastically pointing out that it doesn't have a flight management computer, jet engines, capacities over 2 people, or anything overly high-tech....I'm all for a good April fools joke, but this just misses the mark. It missed it a few weeks ago, it it continues to miss.

X-Plane does have great potential. It could never really unfold in the past for various reasons.

That's debatable. Whether or not you think it has met its potential really depends on what you want out of a desktop flight simulator, and for a number of users, X-Plane has not only met but surpassed that potential.

I was rather talking about market adoption

Ok... the truth behind this is that MS Flight and X-Plane 10 will fusion in one simulator soon, MS and Austin agreed this so it won't be more discussions about what simulator is better in order to relieve the stress in the forums... :lol:Alex
